50 Best Indian Restaurants near Forest Hills

“It’s usually pretty quiet here when I tend to go for lunch. The service has always been great and attentive. The portions are big I can rarely finish what I order. The best part is the pricing - I typically order a main with rice & naan and a couple glasses of wine and I always feel like I’m getting a deal. Definitely recommend!“

“My friend was late for the lunch but eventually she showed up. She loved the vegetarian lunch and we chatted about a bunch of stuff. The last time we got together was December 2025 and so we had much to catch up. The server was extremely kind and never rushed us.“

“great food and amazing service! Amina is a superb hostess!“

“We just had our Frnd Ashirbad on Sep 27,2024. We had 250 guests attend our wedding. Every single guest told us it was the absolute best Ashirbad they’ve EVER attended. The Agra Palace Restaurant & Party Hall was absolutely AMAZING for us! From communication, care, attentiveness, they went above and beyond for every single one of our wants and needs. The catering quality is outstanding.Special shoutout to Tareq and Mamun bhai for arranging and coordinating for us, to helping us figure out exactly how to bring our vision to life- they were EXTRAORDINARY! Our frnd Monisha and Aurgo were outstanding on Ashirbad day, making sure everything went perfectly for our special day. We are beyond grateful for everything that The Agra Place Restaurant & party Hall did for us. They made our frnd Ashirbad truly the most magical and memorable days of our lives!“

“The food was so delicious (that salad and fish in lettuce wraps were my favorite) and also beautiful. Loved the ambiance and the cocktails too! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.“

“Great for Indian food aficionados and newbies alike. The price tag comes with an appropriate amount of table side flair, flavor, and food. Hannah and David were absolutely fantastic in all aspects of service. The food was unbelievably good. We’ll definitely be back“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“INCREDIBLE Indian food experience in New York! I ordered the Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. It was incredible! The server was very sweet and warned that while the Mango Lassi cocktail was delicious it was very sweet, she suggested a Mango Majito instead, which was absolutely DELICIOUS and not overly sweet at all.

The owner Syed came over and introduced himself, he personally thanked me for coming to his restaurant and offered me a free dessert, which was delicious as well.

Absolutely cannot recommend Cloves enough! I am very excited to bring my Indian food loving family in to enjoy!“

“We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Spice Symphony.
We are originally from Mumbai and this place took us back to our roots. The ambience, hospitality and taste were a 5/5.
The servers were attentive and prompt to respond.
We were a noisy bunch seated there because it was a family reunion, but the staff were still kind and accommodating. They made sure we felt at home and the rest of the restaurant guests were not inconvenienced by us.

My personal favourite is the Dahi Kebab, Palak paneer and Rasmalai.
I tasted the Chinese food from one of my cousin’s choices and relished the Hakka Noodles.

Thank you for a memorable experience at Times Square!“

“Delicious and inventive food. Everything had a great blend of flavors and textures, where all the ingredients remained distinct and the composition was better than the parts. The crispy lacha paratha was one of the best I've had. The morels korma was excellent. I'll be back to try more.

The atmosphere is pretty relaxed and the food was well paced, I never felt under pressure to leave.“

“I had such a wonderful dining experience here recently. Everything we ordered arrived fresh and full of flavor. The steam rising off the hot skillet was a perfect welcome to the meal, and the lemon slice on top was a nice touch.

The rice and naan were both excellent accompaniments to the main dishes. I especially enjoyed the vibrant green peas in the curry and the beautiful texture of the topped appetizers. It is a fantastic spot to grab a great meal on Grand Street.“

“Great service and great management. Excellent food quality.Jasmeetbhai is great and wonderful person.“

“The staff is genuinely welcoming attentive. We ordered butter chicken which was creamy and rich with just the right kick of spice. highly recommend“

I am glad we came to this restaurant. We are gonna come again. My date night, ended with the best food I had in NY so far. Cheers for the restaurant, and double cheers for Amandeep“

“We’ve been a few times, Masalawala and Sons is a really good Indian restaurant. They have a lot of great dishes executed well, the butter chicken, saag paneer, and chennar dalna were all very tasty. Their bread selection is outstanding. Also, they do really nice cocktails. Everything we ate from the menu was great. My problems with Masalawala are two things. It suffers from this restaurant groups approach to customer service. We ordered, the food started coming out well before our drinks, just after we finally received our drinks, everything we ordered was on the within minutes. Then the waiter disappears. No offer of a cocktail or beer refill until we’re nearly done eating. This is not a place to enjoy a long meal or relaxed conversation. It felt like we were in a timer and they wanted us out as quickly as possible. And the restaurant is smallish with close set tables, and does a lot of delivery. If you are sitting up front, you’re likely to spend most of your meal with a delivery person standing right over your table, they are in and out constantly and makes the space feel hectic and a little stressful. Overall, I think Masalawala and Sons is a place we might order delivery since the food is quite good. But we might head elsewhere for a more relaxed, customer focused dining experience.“

“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“The food is lip smacking delicious. We have been to many Indian restaurants in NYC and NJ. Hands down this is one of the best. Very authentic indian food.
And the staff is super friendly and attentive. Everyone makes you feel welcome! Definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for an upcale, delicious yet pocket friendly food!“

“the customer service was amazing! I’ll definitely be recommending this place to others“

“I had a wonderful experience at Veeray da Dhaba. The food was packed with authentic Punjabi flavors and tasted just like a home-cooked meal. The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, the biryani was perfectly seasoned, and the naan was fresh and soft. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was attentive and friendly. A fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious North Indian cuisine in NYC.“

“Really enjoyed my experience here. The food was delicious, flavorful, and well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. They even kindly offered a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch. Overall, a great experience with tasty food and friendly service. Would definitely come back!“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

“waiter was good food was too good.not expensive..like it“

“This is an incredible restaurant with amazing food, great service and welcoming ambiance. I had heard about it from my son and niece who live in NYC but I made it a point to go there while visiting from Chicago. I was so impressed during my first visit (by myself) that I went back within a month with my son and niece! Almost everything I had were incredible. The SPDP, wada pav, rava fry were to die for and same with the Ghaati (or gavraan?) chicken was very tasty as well. The two minor things to note are - the Paav (bread) I ordered the first time was okay (too dry or stale) but second time I had chapati and it was great. Secondly the Ghati chicken has some pieces that not everyone will enjoy or like the consistency of - it’s either the liver or the brain and my son wasn’t fond of it. Lastly it’s a cosy restaurant so you also get to strike up a conversation with Soham (chef) or his wife Aarti - especially around closing time. Can’t wait to go there again! Keep up the great work.“

“Butter chicken, goat doori kebab is to die for. Roomali Roti - just had it after ages. No doubt NYC has an Indian restaurant which can compete with the likes of Dum Pukht in India.“

“Delicious authentic Indian cuisine with flavours actually doing a dhamaka - explosion of flavors as you eat it. Great service. One feedback - for such a happening restaurant the restroom is quite shoddy“

“Finally visited Bungalow today after almost a year in waiting. It was one of the best dining experiences , we ever had. The food and the drinks along with their service was amazing. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Vikas Khanna himself brought their complimentary signature orange mousse, which was more than delicious. Seeing him interact with every single guest in the restaurant was so heart warming. A really humble and friendly person. Wishing him and his team all the very best.“

“Location : Right on the corner but park king is difficult to find just as it is in NY

Food : Relishing food with wide menu of veg & nob veg and drinks ( cocktails & mocktails), well prepared and presented
Staff : Courteous and prompt service

Wheelchair accessible

Good for all age groups
Especially good for indian food lovers“

“I order from here regularly. Their biryani is probably one of the best in Brooklyn arguably.“

“Hidden gem for authentic South Indian food! Located in the basement of the Hindu Temple Society of North America in Flushing, NY, this cafeteria-style spot serves incredible, fresh vegetarian comfort food like crispy dosas, soft idli, and flavorful sambar at unbeatable prices. A deeply comforting and unique NYC experience!“

“What an incredible experience! We ordered the Ka-chori, chicken korma, and chicken Bhuna. 10/10 ! The flavors are rich and comforting. Our server was so sweet! I really loved the little onions they served with the Ka-chori and he was kind enough to bring me more for the entreee. Will definitely return when I’m back in the area!“

“Amazing and Awesome Food.“

“Had dinner here with a friend and really enjoyed the meal. Saag Panner and chicken Korma were especially terrific. We ordered on appetizer that wasn’t what we expected and the owner and the chef came over and explained the dish and suggested an alternative which they gladly swapped out. Service was terrific. Personal and attentive. Definitely recommended.“

“One of the best restaurant I have ever tried in the NYC, really enjoyed the food there. We tried chicken tikka, chicken chettinad curry, naan everything, especially the chicken biryani. I had original Hyderabadi chicken biryani taste here, loved it! Also, the price was very reasonable, not much expensive. Must try if you’re traveling to NYC and want to eat Indian dishes.“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“These kind people accidentally served me an extra appetizer (tasty!) and they still gave me an extra order of rice on my way out, just so I could enjoy my leftovers.

The portions are large for the price, filling and delicious.“

“I had the Giant TIKKA MASALA CHICKEN CHEESESTEAK and it was absolutely delicious! Every bite had a great combination of flavors that blended perfectly together. It had just the right amount of spice—flavorful with a nice kick, but not overpowering. When I tell you it's fire meaning it tastes amazing trust me you won't regret it!

I also want to recognize Ankit for the outstanding customer service. He was very patient while taking my order over the phone, answered all of my questions, and made the entire experience pleasant. He was genuinely kind, caring, and professional. Great food paired with excellent customer service is what keeps customers coming back. I highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Great food, cozy atmosphere & excellent service.“

“Got the butter chicken, dal makhani, and tandori chicken. The tandori chicken was very good. The butter chicken was also good but the chicken was a bit overcooked and tough. The dal was pretty good but not my favorite. The masala chai was ok a bit watery for me“

“Chola is easily the best Indian restaurant in all of Manhattan and Northern Jersey. My wife and I drive in bi-weekly for their awesome food and ever changing menu. The staff is incredible and friendly, we've gotten to know them all and consider them personal friends at this point. Any time we can, we take friends and family to Chola. It's is the best!“

“Large menu selection of veg, non-veg, desi and Indian-Chinese cuisine along with great food quality and professional service are the key factors of success with Aanch. It provides a great family dining experience. All items are curated to ones taste and palette. Would highly recommend for a relaxed evening dining with family and friends“

“Good all around Good food,good atmosphere“

“The best Indian food in the Bellerose/Floral Park area. Food is very delicious and owner and staff are very friendly. I order from here frequently and the quality of the food is very consistent/good. Alo Gobi, Bindi, channa masala, Gobi Manchurian, paneer makhani, chili paneer are some of my favorites.“

“My mother was craving Indian food and we found this place. Delicious food and a great atmosphere. The staff told us a little bit about how to eat the food we ordered and her culture. It was a delightful experience and we will definitely be back“

“From Texas With LOVE for DHANIA! I am from TX where South Asian food is in competition to be better. 6 ****** Rating, Why? I am an Expert of Bengali/Indian/Pakistani food due to my involvement to provide bi-weekly food to our congregations of up to 500 members. Our food is mainly Bengali/Indian/Pakistani dishes and some outside items like salads/sweets etc. I mostly cook the main dishes MYSELF. During my visit to NY I dined in few restaurants. I never ate in any NY restaurants before. Dera rest: C+; 3 star Lahore rest: B-; 3.5 star Kababish: C-; 2 star Alibaba Kabab near Bufalo: B+; 4 star Few fast-food restaurants. Now the Main subject DHANIA restaurant, A++; 6 Star Restaurant is Very Clean, Nice atmosphere. Food came in reasonable time. If food comes quickly then thats not good for S. Asian food. Cauliflower was fantastic! Samosas were very good! Chatney awesome. Chicken Tikka was great! Biriyani & butter chicken was Excellent! Naan was fine & soft! Not hard or burned as some other places. Since I ordered catering for my congregation from many restaurants in Houston, I became an expert in S. Asian food. Dhania really surpassed my expectations and surprised me in NY. Wish them the best. Keep serving the best food!“
